Right you are. CSI is was.

As to the "WOW Development Tool", I should have said the programming tool (compiler/data base engine or whatever) WOW purchased to develop the program had some inherent limitation. That wasn't unusual about that time.

I suspect it
was that it could only manage some tables or pointers in one Windows page of 64KB, so that something in the range of (it was never a specific number) 800-900 stocks caused WOW to hang up. Admittedly, a bad design decision, but it apparently was one that they couldn't work around so they waited until they did a whole revamp of the product with a later generation tool.
